There were two videos on that page one poorly lit and recorded [ lots
of spurious noise ] but well played. The other was well lit with a
much brighter guitar [not as good a sound as the Baden Powell and
quite as well played. It seemed a little faster too. Do you know who
that guy was? Just curious. He played some cool voicings in the head
of the tune to achieve the chord, melody,and bass parts. The darker
version sounded like the same positions on the guitar but I just
didn't see .......
